If the killers had their way, the bride would soon be a widow...
The most powerful man in the territory coveted beautiful Selma Garfield. With her wedding to Nathan Page only a few days distant, Big Jim Rand rode into San Rafael and discovered that the bridegroom was an old army acquaintance. Naturally, the big man stayed to play bodyguard to Nathan, who had been threatened with violent death by the XL bunch, the minions of the power-hungry Kane Magnus. Naturally, there had to be a fight to the finish, with the rock walls of Trinidad Canyon echoing to the gun-thunder.
Leonard Frank Meares (February 13, 1921 - February 4, 1993)
Sydney born Len Meares aka Marshall Grover, published around 750 novels, mostly westerns. His best-known works feature Texas trouble-shooters Larry and Stretch. Before starting to write, Meares served in the Royal Australian Air Force, worked in the Department of Immigration and sold shoes. In the mid-1950s he bought a typewriter to write radio and film scripts. Inspired by the success of local paperback westerns, he wrote Trouble Town, which was published by the Cleveland Publishing Company in 1955.
His tenth yarn, Drift! (1956), introduced Larry Valentine and Stretch Emerson. In 1960, he created a brief but memorable series of westerns set in and around the town of Bleak Creek. Four years later came The Night McLennan Died, the first of more than 70 westerns (sometimes called oaters) to feature cavalryman-turned-manhunter Big Jim Rand.
Genre: Western
